EARTHBOUND 2025

Soil & water – the sensuous fundament for life

EARTHBOUND 2025 is an international symposium, which offers keynote speakers, workshops, talks and debates. With the year's theme - soil and water - as a starting point, the program centers around climate justice and feminist knowledge. There are 5 workshops days scheduled throughout the 3-day event. Additionally, there will be performance excerpts and sharing sessions. These activities will be interspersed with delightful vegetarian/vegan meals.

The symposium is designed as one durational, staged event aimed at stimulating both the intellect and the senses. Read more about the vision behind EARTHBOUND here.

Since the symposium is a meeting point for artists and researchers from many different countries, the program will be held in English.
